2025 Big Bang Conference

JOIN US THIS SUMMER IN THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL BEGAN! PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND!

Big Bang is Big Picture Learning's annual conference on student-centered learning, an intergenerational collaboration where students, educators, leaders and partners come together as equals to learn from one another and from our host community.  

This year will be no ordinary Big Bang. To celebrate Big Picture Learning's 30th Anniversary, we'll be returning to our roots - Providence, Rhode Island - birthplace to not only BPL, but also our flagship BPL network school - The MET. 

This is the summer education conference not to be missed. Big Bang is specifically designed to mimic the BPL distinguishers that serve as hallmarks of our network schools - Advisory, Leaving to Learn, Leadership Soul and more. But there's always that special ingredient - a rain-soaked balloon fight, a live performance featuring Naughty by Nature, a drumline march through Atlanta - that gives each Big Bang its own unique flare (while also giving non-attendees intense FOMO). 

You're not going to want to miss this one. Believe us.
